Knowledge Builder is an enterprise strength environment for developing and deploying knowledge-based applications and components. Knowledge-based applications are software components which incorporate rules, expertise, know-how, procedures, policies and regulations which can collectively be called "Business Rules". The automation of business rules is the engine that powers the "knowledge economy" and "eBusiness"; this requires flexible and scaleable tools for the capture and deployment of business rules over the web. Therefore Knowledge Builder provides a key enabling technology for eBusiness. 

Knowledge Builder is unique in the breadth of its integrated knowledge technologies, its comprehensive development environment and its scalable deployment options; which makes it ideally suited to a wide range of knowledge-based applications.
